    I hope its not a pirated one because the missing texture issue was with the pirated copy one.

    Sorry, but the mobile 7950GTX is actually below the minimum specifications, so that may be your answer.

    Try updating your drivers. Before, with my 8600 GTS, I was running 163.71, and it used to artifact and everything would disappear except for Niko, and when I updated to 195.62, everything has been fixed.

    Note: Your CPU will not play the game well. I'm guessing your best FPS will be 23FPS.
